The Medic

Missed you

We didn't talked much.

Because shortly after some nurses hurried inside and threw him out.
They did all possible tests on me.
But besides of feeling really sore I was fine.

I had trouble moving.
My arm felt just fine again.
I was told to be careful but my leg had healed just fine.
The only thing that had taken longer to heal was my face.

They told me how the wound had infected one or two times and that was why it scared that much.

I hadn't looked in the mirror since.
I couldn't.
I didn't wanted to.

They tested and occupied me for two whole days.
In this time no one was allowed to see me.

And it bothered me.
I needed to see them.
I remembered Königs words.
Johnny hadn't spoken since.
I could only imagine how hard this was for him.

And I didn't cared one bit about my condition.
I needed to know if he was ok!

Finally on the third day they at least let König inside.

„How did you get them to let you in?"

„I'm your husband Maus"

he winked slightly.
I grinned bright and shook my head.

„They know you're not König. They're just tiered of my whining"

He sat down and took my hand.

„How do you feel?"

„Tired. Tired of this bullshit. I want to see all of you. I need to see Johnny König"

He sighed.

„Price told him you woke up. He hasn't left his apartment since then. I think he's afraid to see you. He feels guilty you know"

„He shouldn't. It was my decision. He couldn't have done anything"

„We know Maus. But you know him."

I shook my head.

„Can you tell him that I want to see him? Please!"

„I don't know if that's a good idea right now"

„Pleaaaaaassseeeeee"

„Maus -„

„Please Schatz"

I said with the sweetest voice ever and a pouting face.
I could see how his defence melted away.
He nodded and sighed.

„But I will stay here"

he said defeated.
I nodded.
He send Johnny a message and then looked at me again.
He reached out to stroke a bit of hair out of my face.
I instinctively pulled back.

He froze.
This hurt look in his eyes.

„I-I'm sorry. I just"

I looked away and took a deep breath.
He gently placed his hand on my face and made me look at him.

„Maus.
Don't.
I said I love you right?
And i mean it.
You like me despite my scars.
So why should this stop me from loving you?"

I sighed deep.

„I love you König. But that's just new to me.
I have a lot of scars.
I never cared.
But that's my face.
I mean when I looked in that mirror...it didn't looked like me."

„But it is.
And nothing can ruin your beauty.
Not for me.
You are you.
And you know, a really wise and beautiful women once said to me:
Scars tell story's. No one should be ashamed of them."

I smiled slightly.

„Oh god. You remember everything don't you?"

„When it's about you? Yes definitely.
This night you made me realise that you were different. That you saw me different."

„Well yes. Of course. Everyone's so afraid of you. There's no need for that. You're a big softy"

I smiled bright.
He shook his head and smiled.

„See. You're still you."

He leaned over and kissed me.

We talked the whole morning.
He had still no answer from Johnny.

„Don't be sad Maus. He needs time. It's not that easy"

„But I don't want him to torture himself like that! I want to talk to him"

„But you can't force him."

„I could"

He gave me a scolding look.

„What? They won't let me but I can walk pretty fine. I could fight him even now!"

„Mel! If I see you get up from this bed any time soon you're in trouble!"

„Bloody hell this woman. These were the most peaceful two months of my life"

I looked up and smiled bright.
In the door were Gaz and Ghost.

„Oh shut up Ghost! You whined the whole two months that you miss her!"

König laughed.

„Yeah because none of you get my Humor!"

I laughed loud and smiled.

„yeah and don't forget, who's gonna kick all of your asses when you do shit?"

„Not you little lady!"

Gaz snickered.

„Wait till I leave this bed Garrick!"

„What is not happening soon! So for now enjoy these"

Ghost said and placed a package on my legs.
I opened it and smiled bright.

„Ahhhh you got me the cinnamon rolls! Yessss thank you so much"

This feeling to have them all back here.
There was nothing better.
But still something was missing.

Johnny.

As I ate the cinnamon rolls and listened to Gaz and Ghost ramble about what had happened in the past two months.
I realised how close I had grown to this team.
Who would have thought in the first place?
And now I couldn't imagine my life any other way.

As Ghost and Gaz were discussing something I looked over to König.
He had looked on his phone probably the 10th time.
I knew he waited on a response from Johnny.

He said I should give him time but even he knew we had to sort this out.
To ease his mind and of course also mine.

Of course I thought a lot about what had happened. But it was no one's fault.
No one could have prevented it.

It would have been him or me.
And we had no choosing in this.
This was the risk of this job.
And Johnny knew this.
He had to see me eventually.
